wear whatever you want, still dress tasteful as you would on an af installation
most of the time when we would deploy they would want use to at least wear pants.....
but mostly only for the flight from the us to overseas....

I don't recall ever being too hot on a flight but I do remember freezing my nuts off on several ocassions. If you wear shorts, especially on a long flight, those puny blankets aren't going to be enough to keep you warm.

Plus, if the plane should ever go down, the only thing between you and icy cold water or fire are the shorts you have on.

If your plane is diverted and you land somewhere it's not very warm, you're going to look funny shivering.
